Q&A - Derek King
how are you?
great.ive been skating lately and learned some new stuff.like the other day i learned boardslide heelflip out.gotta get it on video for ya guys.
so tell us about how you began skating
wow.its a long story.well you know how all of us skaters start out watching Bam Margera do his crazy stunts and skating?well thats how i began.By watching him.so thank you bam margera.and his element deck was my first pro deck to.and also i started because the way skaters flip there boards and catch air just looks so cool and gnarly.so i grabbed a deck and begin,ever since i was 11 i was down right into it.
so what are you plans for the future?
to turn pro here in florida.then to get some money saved up and move to L.A. then get bigger sponsors then just live the skate life in california for the rest of my life.
